A 6 V battery output is divided down to obtain two output voltages. Three 2.2 kΩ resistors are used to provide the two taps. The two output voltages are___________?
Correct answer: A. 2 V, 4 V
- A. 2 V, 4 V
- B. 2 V, 2 V
- C. 2 V, 6 V
- D. 4 V, 6 V
Explanation
The three equal 2.2 kΩ resistors divide the 6 V supply into three equal 2 V sections. The two taps therefore provide 2 V and 4 V relative to the negative terminal.
